governor romney had a good flight. i had a bad night. >> how bad? >> well, it's not the first time i've had a bad night, but i think what's important is that the fundamentals of what this race is about haven't changed. >> is it possible you handed him the election that night? >> no. >> you're going to win? >> yes. >> don't expect joe biden to make the same mistake. the campaign says the veep will come out forcefully against the romney/ryan record and address the quote dishonesties pedalled last week. offering advice for number two the president said -- >> tomorrow night? >> well, i -- you know, i think joe needs to be joe. >> for what it's worth, the president is probably hoping that joe isn't the same joe who occasionally suffers from bouts of acute honesty on a variety of topics like gay marriage. >> he got out a little bit over his skis, but out of generosity, spirit. >> joining us now from chicago, national press secretary for the obama campaign, ben "the thunder" labolt. >> new nickname every time. thanks for having me. >> thunder bolt or thund

i think romney's statement last night was positive and obviously i'm not one that has given him a lot of commendations but he said what needed to be said last night that i didn't think he would and we'll see where it goes. i think that the president and what he said and the tone he set is where those of us that are supportive are going to have to ive him but at the same time say to him, we won, we don want to see certain things it was remarkable and nice for the american electorate that both men chose to focus on unity at a moment when it could have been about victory tore defeat and the message is let's carry this forward, we're still one united states of america. >> i think all of us have respect for both of them and have seen both of them act like that in their careers, not so much during the campaign itself. if those two guys had waged a campaign i think we would have had a better more uplifting campaign and the winner would have had more of a mandate than i think the president has. he still has a big mandate.h( i think he's got tons of running room on the left. obama care is no
